The list features a number of bars from cities known for their nightlife such as Los Angeles, New York and London but it's little old Perth that has bagged the top spot with a trendy laneway establishment.

Big 7 Travel used a combination of expert opinions, online reviews, previous media coverage, notable blogs and readers votes to make their list and ensure their decision was a legitimate one.
